Do i really have to wash all of baby's clothes/sheets/blankets/changing pad covers etc. before use??

I washed everything, literally lol. It's up to you though girl 😊

@allyandbabies, what about the crib sheets and stuff that comes in plastic?

I did with my son and will with this one. I work at a baby clothing store and you'd be surprised at how many clothes get dropped, stepped,touched and coughed on.

I washed the majority of my sons clothes only because his dad and I both have EXTREMELY sensitive skin, so we are already thinking our little guy has a good chance of being the same way. Plus, when I had a burst of energy (rare occasion) it gave me something to do!

No rash what so ever. He was healthy and happy and he didn't know his clothes weren't washed. I also kept most tags on until he actually wore them so we could return things if we had to

I did cause they were in stores getting dropped & many people touching them!! So I got all mine washed! With the baby detergent

I washed the ones other people gave us because I didn't know how they handled them. the ones I bought went straight to the hanger so I didn't wash them

You don't have to but it's recommended. I washed all of my daughters and I'm glad I did because she actually has pretty sensitive skin

I didn't either and my son was perfectly fine

@arich13, did your baby get a rash??

you don't have too

Nope. I didn't
